16. Be wary of emotional eating.
Eat because you're hungry, not because you're upset. Emotional eating disturbs normal digestive functioning.
Whenever a craving strikes, take a brisk walk in the fresh air for 15-20 minutes. Drink chamomile, mint or licorice
tea to soothe emotional hunger. If you're still hungry, that means you really need food.
17. Don't lean while eating.
This is not a natural position for the organs when it comes to ingesting food and drink.
18. Don't recline (lie down) while eating.
Reclining alters the natural passage of food, causes heartburn and is harmful. When in an upright position
like sitting at the dinner table, acidic liquid content in the stomach called refluxate flows down due to gravity
and thus prevents it from sloshing up the oesophagus (the muscular tube that carries food from throat to stomach).
When reclining, there is no such gravitational pull. Reflux may result in the oesophagus membrane lining becoming
pre-cancerous, and eventually lead to fatal gastrointestinal cancer.
19. Avoid eating while standing.
There is a need to relax while eating or
drinking so the digestive muscles contract normally. Eating while standing or in activity prevents this.
20. Do not eat with the face facing downwards.
One example is when one is lying down with the stomach below. Another is when we bring the mouth to the food than
vice-versa. Health experts advise an upright sitting position when eating, including bringing the food to the mouth
to maintain an upright posture. Eating with an incorrect or lazy posture affects digestion and reduces metabolism.
That's why couch potatoes have an obesity problem, they tend to slouch when eating and drinking.
21. Don't eat too much.
Eating less is anti-aging. Excessive eating causes a number
of illnesses, and invites death: brain diseases, eye diseases, E.N.T diseases (ear, nose, throat), chest and lung
diseases, heart and valves diseases, liver and gall bladder diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, destruction of
brain veins. psychological diseases, depression or stroke. Studies in yeast, rodents and other organisms also have
found that drastically cutting calories extends life span.
22. Wash the hands after eating.
For cleanliness and preventing infection.
